[GreenKeys] Model 14 tape printer repairs, parts, etc.

Jack's advice is good!  -My spare motor- (ebay: $20) is sitting next to 
the pieces of my original motor as emotional backstop!  I will not be 
daunted...that M15 will run again.

That said, my feeling is that a 50 or 60 year old, all metal, greasy 
piece of industrial equipment should properly be approached as 'Guy Fun' 
(or Gal Fun, if you're a gal.)  So long as I don't hurt myself...:-)

P.S. I'd be looking for bits of spring or metal falling out of the 
starter-switch clamshell when opened.
P.P.S  Stuff designed to last forever or be repaired to keep on going is 
such a pleasure to behold.  Today's equivalent motor is probably 
unopenable and utterly unrepairable.
